Subject: Re: Magazine Strokes
You will not bilieve what private answers i got !!!!
( i respect everyones opinion so im not retransmiting anything )

Here is what i recived ..

1 )  People  dive on 70m or 100m because Trimix is out of thair Cost limits.

2)   They dive deep on Air because He is not available.
3)   They Dive Deep because they have hundrets of dives under thair belt
       and they are confident for them selfs.

A 22 year old boy died last summer here diving on 53m breathing air and
holding a spear gun. Ask his perents if they wished they will pay the cost
of He
and have thair boy still in life.
